Founding Fathers Forum: Dred Scott Case

I have a debate in my history class and its over the Dred Scott Case. I'm proslavery and my topic is property, meaning if Dred Scott is the property of the slaveholder because if he isn't then he should have been freed once he entered a free state. So can you please provide me with an overview of court cases that involve the decision on property and also give me your views on it. Thank you, Mary

If the person posting this message left their e-mail address, we inserted some random characters to prevent spammers from harvesting their address. Spammers do this with automated "bots" that constantly search the Web looking for e-mail addresses. Since you're a human being, not a bot, you can easily obtain the real address by removing the text that says "ThisisToPreventSpam-XYZ-RemoveThis." including the random number XYZ and the period at the end. For example, <whitten@ThisIsToPreventSpam-123-RemoveThis.despammed.com> would become <chris-(@)-interesting.com>.
